Baylor got out to its fastest start of the season Saturday, racking up over 300 first-half yards in a blowout win over the Knights. The win ends a two-game skid and moves the Bears to 5-4 on the season.

After a pair of disappointing road losses, the Bears are headed back to McLane Stadium for a bounce-back game against the Knights.

The Bears struggled in the second half, but still won their final nonconference game in unquestioned fashion. Bryson Washington ran for two touchdowns and the defense forced three interceptions in the winning effort.

The Bears changed some defensive terminology and clarified some important position battles.

After giving up 246.3 passing yards per game in 2024 — a bottom-five mark in the Big 12 — Baylor football is searching for a level-up with new leadership in the cornerback room.

Behind the most rushing yards in a single game in three years, Baylor football snapped an eight-game home losing streak to Big 12 opponents, knocking off Oklahoma State 38-28 on Saturday at McLane Stadium.
